Our 2006 Draft section is officially open. <\/p>\n

There are some player profiles and rankings still to enter, but there’s too much info there to hold off until we’re done. We will continue entering data for the next week or two and our top 10 lists will update accordingly. <\/p>\n

The NFL Draft has become increasingly popular, and as such, our coverage grows year after year. It takes a lot of time and effort to scout all of the players and get the notes into the database. It’s the main reason that you find very few websites left actually offering all of their content for free. Please remember to support us on the ‘More’ page of the draft section if you are so inclined.<\/p>\n

This year’s draft coverage is the best yet. You’ll find sections on the Combine, Top 10 Rankings, Draft News from around the web, underclassmen news, team needs, and our exclusive draft articles. If the draft section doesn’t have something that you think it should, drop us a line at feedback@the-hogs.net and give us your feedback. There will be lots more in the upcoming weeks with combine summaries, player profiles and interviews, and lots of exclusive articles. <\/p>\n

We will also be adding a form on the Mock Draft page for other webmasters to swap mock drafts links with us. In the meantime, just use the e-mail address above to contact us with your link.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Les Barnhart and Scott Hurrey for all their work in helping me put together our 2006 NFL Draft section.<\/p>\n
